You're going to run into a problem if Google can't geocode the IP
address, in which case google.loader.ClientLocation is set to null.
If that happens, your if statement may error out because there's
nothing past google.loader.ClientLocation. I would probably recommend
going with something like this:
if
(google
.loader
.ClientLocation
&&google
.loader
.ClientLocation
.address&&typeof(google.loader.ClientLocation.address.city)!=null)){
Other than that, it looks like you have a pretty firm grasp on what
needs to happen. Did you have a specific question?
